How can he never meet a developmental norm and still be OK? And when will he stop sucking my finger? \u003c\/i\u003eSo he went digging for answers. They were not what he expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wealth of perspectives--scientific, historical, cross-cultural, personal--\u003ci\u003eBaby Meets World\u003c\/i\u003e is organized around the mundane activities that dominate the life of an infant: sucking, smiling, touching, toddling.
